Oh yeah I know. I kind of like how they put the extra left lane for cars on the hills.

CB's don't do much good with that Mr. Hard Drive jack arse yapping on his base station all day long. Where is that POS based out of anyway? I'd like to pay him a visit

380 to 33 was a piece of cake thanks gents. My homework for next trip is to find a way around that cluster on 100 between Allentown and Pottsown. Looking at 380 to 80 to 33 to 78 to 309 to 663 to 100. What's 663 like between Quakertown and Boyertown?

ProfessionalNoticer Thanks this. -
663 was closed for bridge construction last I heard, but once it opens up it's not a bad riderank and ProfessionalNoticer Thank this.

just did king pins and leafs on my 97 at 2.25, only done about 250k myself on her running pa to ma and it was shot, greased once a month (5k)
there’s really not a good way around but i81 to rt 61 (to 419) was the way I went from Pottsville to Newmanstown pa
no matter which way you go, if you have to pull a hill at 28 mph, make sure you stay 3 wide with the container haulers doing 27 mph to defend your honorLast edited: Oct 1, 2022

Those MBI trucks are slugs. Probably 500hp isx's -
Good to see that you’re still kinda alive there Ranksterrank, Ruthless and Brettj3876 Thank this.

Depending on time of day 309 gets real backed up 663 not bad but gets real slow also usually until other side of Boyertown
IMHO... and this is what I do and most of my buddies in area
81-309-443-895-61-73-662-422
Mileage pretty much identical to 33-309 etc
You can also just continue in 61 south to 222south-422 east
Just my .02

Musta been asleep when I posted this thought I read Pottsville
Just posted Scranton to Pottstown
As for Allentown Pottsville
I’d still run 222-422
But you can run 662 south off 222 to 422
Lil shorter but it’ll take longerrank Thanks this.
